The Space Penguins barely had time to hastily make some decoys with the parachutes and apply the camouflage unguent, specially designed to mask their heat signatures and odor. Within the hour, a Seagull raiding party with War Machines throwing off gigantic clouds of dark smoke, thundered their way. It was a bad sign seeing they landed in the planet, that meant the other Space Penguin cadets would have to face off against Seagulls soon...

Being in no condition to stand their own against their gigantic War Machines, they decided to hide and hope for the best. Even though the Seagulls make their machinery and spaceships from junk and technology stolen from raids, and are very disorganized (and dumb), they are persistent in their search for "easy prey". A group of wounded, unarmed cadets qualifies as such...
